Fiji authorities blame cell death on dengue fever

Burying a father and husband: Tawake famiily.

State brutality has
reared its ugly head again with the death of a 38 year old Raiwasa father of
two while in jail.

Viliame Tawake died
on Sunday March 2 and his wife says she was told by the Corrections Service it was from dengue fever.

The story was broken by the Fiji Times which also quotes Tawake's wife as saying the
Corrections Service had offered to pay for getting the body back to them and for the coffin.

Tawake was buried over the weekend but his death
raises brings to the fore the unresolved cases of other citizens who've died while in state custody.

Tawake: Before and after according to reports.

Fresh on many minds also is the brutal beating meted out by police, Corrections officers and
soldiers assigned to Frank Bainimarama to escapee Ioane Benedito.

A nine minute video of the beating and sexual assault was released about this time last year and despite Coupfourpointfive
identifying most of those wielding the pipes, none have ever been investigated or charged.

A spokeswoman for Fiji
Corrections Service, has confirmed an inmate died in his cell but says there
will no comment until they get the post mortem back.

Editor's Note: The picture of the family at Tawake's graveside appeared in Fiji Times - the other pictures are from the Facebook page of Kacivaka Na Dina, who says the pictures were sent to them by someone close to the family. Na Dina also says Tawake's family have commented on the pictures and have not disputed its authenticity.

Until this corupted government gets out of power this case will be just like the case beginning from 2006. It's called the Sweep it under the carpert case. Choose now who you vote for :Murder's or Commoners.

The sadism that was inculcated by Frank and his bunch of murderers at QEB on all the Army thugs has clearly rubbed off on to the thugs at Naboro and Korovou, the bastards!!What a bunch of COWARDS!!May the Lord, the giver and owner of ALL our lives deliver his judgement on these thugs and their families.May Viliame Tawake rest in peace and may the Lord comfort his family.To the Tawake family, I say this : Your tears will not be in vain. The Lord has declared : 'Vengeance is mine".

I cannot believe that this is happening in Fiji.The institutions of this regime are turning against its people, the courts, the police, the prison, the medical department.There are no clear answers, the guy from Raiwai a few weeks ago suffered a similar fate, where the Health Minister cooked up a fake investigation, within the same ministry.Anyway, this is what we get from an unaccountable regime, which usurped power and attempts to go on and win election.A vote for this illegal PM is a vote for this kind of deaths!!.No way, we deserve a better government.

is this necessary? Mark, would you put a photo of your deceased brother? have some self respect and respect for others. How do you think his family feels about the world seeing this?

I SUPPOSE YOU DON'T WANT THIS TO BE SEEN OR THIS STORY TOLD! I BET HIS FAMILY WANTS THE WORLD TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN FIJI. WORDS CANT DESCRIBE IT ENOUGH, PICTURES DO!! TAKE YOUR SNAKE TONGUE CONCERN AND SHOVE IT UP FRANKS!

To vote in Frank's party is to vote in a party that stands for:01. Tyranny02. Murder03. CORRUPTION04. Self serving05. Lining their pockets at our expense06. Suppression of freedom etc07. "My way or the highway"08. Lies, lies and more lies09. ETC ETC ETC

Whilst the deceased must be respected, I believe that the photograph HAS to be shown to the whole wide world as evidence, and tangible at that, of what really is happening on the ground here in FijiContrary to what they say, things are still not normal here. There is still fear, suppression, torture, you name it!!I wonder what other similar cases have not been brought out in the open for all to know and see!!This is intimidation by Frank at the highest and lowest level on the eve of the so called elections.The message by the bully is clear: 'VOTE FOR ME OR ELSE".

We need to get rid of more fuckers the same way as him. Only those who have been attacked, robbed etc. know how horrendous these criminals are. May the scum burn in hell. For those of you taking his side, you are like him too...all of you deserve a similar fate!!!

Sadly, Kacivaka seem to have gone to extra-ordinary lengths to support their claim by publishing a doctored photo of what they claim to be the late Tawake (RIP). That photo seems to be of an African gentleman - just see the sores around his right eye and under his eyelid

THIS LATEST MURDER BY BAINIMARANA'S REGIME HAS PERMANNEEEENTLY CONVINCED ME AND MY FAMILIES TO REJECT BAINIMARAMA AT THE POLLS. ,E AND MY FAMILIES WILL NOT AND NEVER VOTE FOR BAINIMARAMA AND HIS PARTY.

It is for sure that he was bashed to death. Cannot understand how a healthy person can die.Publish the doctors report so everyone can know the cause. The family should take the correction services to court.

As EyeArse's ban on prayers in Govt schools bite against Bainimarama's approval leading to election, how the Fiji Sun is doing fence mending by reporting Bhai's prayers with school kids:

PM Prays With Kids

MAIKA BOLATIKI. Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama yesterday recited a prayer to the students of Kalabu High School and called it “A Prayer for Fiji.” This was the same prayer given at the presidential assent of the new Constitution last September, he said. “It is a prayer that can be recited by every Fijian irrespective of [...]

This is political propaganda and damage control against the uproat against EyeArse's ban on prayers in schools..who on earth is he a Muslim banning prayers in Fiji where Chriatians are majority??

WE DO NOT BILIEVE YOU bHAI. YOU THINK WE ARE IDIOTS TO BE TAKEN IN BY YOUR lacklustre tricks????

The fear of Fijians under this brutal Dictatorship, once gone, will bring about a swift and brutal end to this coup d'etat of Frank Bainimarama and Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum. God help those who continue to support the Regime in Fiji because the writing is on the wall as to how it is all going to end!!!They say vengeance is the Lord's, but he also works through others.

Was the mosquitoe 2 legged? Maybe the post mortem will reveal. If the bite is visible then these mosquitoes should be brought to court. Not sure if fiji police meant prison officer ate human and called mosquitoes.

The death of Tawake shows how low this regime is treating human life in Fiji.It is how low it is treating the lives of ethnic Fijians, in Fiji.The police, the military and the prison officers treat our citizens in jails as animals, they beat them, they give them to the dogs to be dragged, they throw anything at them, etc etc..how cruel!!!The true test of any government is how it treats its citizens through its institutions like the police, the army, the prison service, its education system and health and social services.According to me this regime has terribly failed.It should not have been in power, and should not be given the chance to be in power.The sooner it leaves, the better for us all.All the visits to schools, to address functions and to make plans for the future should stop and the regime should just bow out and leave, we are fed up with all that is happening to our fellow citizens.Our poor children are made fatherless, our mothers are made to struggle for themselves, our hospitals do not have our confidence for treating us with our sicknesses.There is death in hospitals, in jails, in police custody, cruelty is rife at the hands of our security officers.This country can do much better than this, and we deserve a better government, and not this cruel regime.

To those of u here who supports the killing. Few things we can read about u. You are not a fijian because fijian spirit kicks in when tragedy as such to another fijian. Muslim spirit is unfijian. U also represents a tiny minority of racist cunts in this country. Any fiji indian would also love to cut the air off your lungs because you dont represent their view. Lastly you seem to be the worst thing fiji has ever had and people like u should be deported and have ur citisenship canceled.

just heard that Jim Ak Koy has gone mad senile ,chased his sons away and getting his wife to sell cake from flea market for her daily expenses .Staff at his office frustrated and he swears at Frank and Bai with his china friends . He said Franko promised him Finance ministers job in the new party as he is the only one who can fix this ,can some one confirm if its true that he has gone off in the head

THIS IS A TOTAL ABBROGATION OF ACCOUNTABILITY BY BAINiMARAMA & KAIYUM.

DRAU VEICAI DRAU VEIVUTUSONA.

LEVU GA NOMUDRAU VOSA YOU FARKING LYING BASTARDS.

THIS JUST SHOWS THE LEVEL OF PERVERSION AND IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR THAT BAINIMARAMA AND KAIYUM WILL STOOP TO.

IKO BAINIMARAMA NA TAMATA LASULASU.caititamamu.NO ONE WANTS TO BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OFF YOUR FARKING MOUTH NOW.YOU ARE A FARKING ARSEHOLE AND YOU HAVE STOOPED SO LOW.SO FARK U BAINIDA.

Fiji Times:

Dissolved

Nasik SwamiSaturday, March 15, 2014

THE committee which was responsible for making public the state of government finances no longer exists.

The current Public Accounts Committee has been dissolved by the government as a prelude to the resumption of Parliament after the general election.

Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said a new Public Accounts Committee chaired by the Opposition would be formed once Parliament resumes.

"When it does, all of the reports compiled by the Auditor-General will be considered by the committee and be tabled in Parliament," Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said in an Information Ministry statement yesterday....

That's one big mother of a mosquito!Shows absolutely nobody, even a prisoner under guard, is safe in Fiji under Frank's Regime.Rise up and take back your FREEDOM, before more innocent lives are lost and wives, mothers and children suffer needlessly.Fiji is becoming known as the most barbaric place in the Pacific and Fijians as Neanderthals, not warriors!

- Treason against an elected government- Declared illegal by the courts- Abrogated the constitution- Imposed it's own constitution on the people- Tortured it's citizens- Claimed that it is not accountable to the citizens- Removed indigenous rights to self determination- Used Indo-Fijians to further his cause- Censored media- Nepotism- No auditing of public accounts- Lowered retirement age- Militarised government positions- Rising debt levels- Dishonesty- Vote buying by rendering free services to the gullible.

I can't believe that this can ever happen to a place " the way the world should be". OMG..people of Fiji, this is your only chance to resurrect your country from the tomb, otherwise your the tomb is going to be your destiny for ever. Vote this bastards out, don't even give them a single vote.They are out to get you, and they will do a damn good job in pocketing your money and your life.

Bainimarama used Indo-Fijian oppression as an excuse for the coup. Are they really oppressed? Has that offered security? To say the least, it has not!

The Bainimarama leadership has not changed anything

-Land is still under native control- > 90% of military intake are still indigenous Fijians- Indo-Fijians are still leaving in droves- Indo-Fijian elites are prosperous then ever compared to the massive ordinary- Indo-Fijians are still living in fear- Racial divide is as wide as ever

Why vote for someone who has not changed any thing for Indo-Fijians except the voting system which I believe is not in their best interest.

Where are the authentic photos of injuries on Tawake?? Why can't someone put up the actual pix to support the claim instead of some dead black ass nigger?? It is unbelievable how many idiots fell for that photo. Come on people!!! Looks like lots of nutcases converge on this blog...

What is all this promotion to Rear Admiral for???? Sounds all comical for a tinpot dictator in a dilapidated Navy of a poor country which can hardly afford to look after its starving jobless squatter populations

Anon 9.28pm...Me moku mate talega o Bainimarama kei ira e ra tokoni koya baleta na nona mai butakoca na nodra bula galala na lewe ni vanua...Get real! Tawake was in jail for his actions and that is fair justice. Bai is above justice so for him, he needs more than just a jail term. He needs to be sodomized while hanging from the gallows

Commodore Bainimarama promoted to Rear AdmiralThe former Commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has been promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral on his retirement.

The President of Fiji and Commander in Chief of the Republic of the Fiji Military Forces Ratu Epeli Nailatiku made the announcement in a statement this afternoon.

The statement recognises both the 39 years of distinguished service by Rear Admiral Bainimarama in the RFMF and his contribution to the nation.

He is also thanked for his service and is wished well in civilian life.....vinaka vakalevu naita na gugumatua, keep up the good work lolz!

The Attorney-General and Minister for Industry and Trade, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum highlighted that aside from issues faced between consumers and telecommunication companies, more collaborative approaches must be made.Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said this during Fiji’s celebrations of World Consumer Rights Day at the University of the South Pacific yesterday.“The reality is there are various businesses that make investment in various areas to make a profit and provide other services. We as consumers want to access those goods and services. However it does not mean the businesses are there to exploit the consumer. Mr Sayed-Khaiyum’s comments came in response to a number of issues raised by Consumer Council of Fiji chief executive, Premila Kumar.

The Fiji Correction's Service post mortem on a 38 year old Raiwasa native who died in police protective custody is now in. Viliame Tawake died on Sunday, March 2 of what the Corrections Service then thought was dengue fever. The post mortem stated the cause of death was instead sudden onset of Type II diabetes.

I remember when the same diabetic excuse was linked to the amputation of one escaped prisoner not long ago. How can they cover visual injuries and ozed blood on this case to diabetic. Diabetic can be a contributor but death results from torture. C'mon everyone lets stop the cover up. I havent seen a diabetic died with horrific injuries as such.

@ timoci (or tiboci), no, sorry, i mean gorvis, now that the rear has been proclaimed, it is obvious your desire to continue to promote the works of the rear will never cease. choose you trumpet well, as your rear concerto is really now echoing a very rear like sound. You rear end idiot!

When Ro Teimumu winds back all of Frank's decrees, what happens to the Queens around her? Pita Waqanovonovo's out of hours activities will be illegal again. Be careful what you wish for Pita. Frank and Aiyaz liberated Fiji's gay community. Do you really want to put homosexuals behind bars again?

Well Fiji is back in the Commonwealth but one thing stands out we didnt beg or kerekere or force them to let us in it was because we are faring better than other members of the Commonwealth,next they will ask current and future PM to give them some funds.Remember NZ and Aust soften their stance becuase of fear that FIJI is gettting cozy with China and Russia.Vinaka PM sa qai matata mai.Vote Bai.

@ Trues up man...Big countries see their relationship with Fiji as important because of it's citizens, NOT because of BAI and KAI. They have softened their stance because the dickhead is now on his way to holding democratic elections rather than the gun. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that. Cozy with China and Russia? -these countries don't give a shit about Fiji - sa matata ya!

JYOTI PRATIBHA:FIJI SUN:Revelations have come to light that an expatriate senior lecturer of the University of the South Pacific had been dismissed from his previous employment at an American university for allegedly ‘inappropriately touching female students’.The lecturer told the Fiji Sun yesterday that he had disputed the claims and that they were motivated by racism.The University of the South Pacific said it was now looking into the matter.Specific questions sent to the University on whether the Human Resources department had done a background check on the lecturer before he was shortlisted and ultimately hired for the job, were not unanswered.Instead, a general statement was issued by USP stating that: “The University of the South Pacific has received an external communication regarding some materials about the previous employment of the lecturer.USP, has not answered whether they knew about the lecturers past employment history, and its code of conduct is silent about lecturers with past history like this.

What, promotion to Rear Admiral??Well I never - only in Fiji I guess!!Never, never in the history of the now disgraced RFMF has anyone been promoted after retiring!!Na cava 'qo? Obviously, Nailatikau [na ULUKAU], is currying Rear Arse's favour to remain at Government House!!Sa rauta mada na masi polo Ulukau!!What a mockery of the system and the institution!!To add salt to injury, Kalouniwai has been promoted to Colonel over the heads of senior and seasoned officers like Jacko Evans [US Special Forces trained]and others!!Maybe it is time to seriously consider leaving the Army Jacko!!

@USP clings to 'silence is golden' stance 1.46pm, the incident shows how things have declined at USP, where Human Resources has always been the worst performing department.

VC Rajesh Chandra's continuous intervention in HR matters, including circumventing the rules in favour of friends and favoured ones, has made situation worse. It showed HR rules could be bent broken.

The chaotic situation at USP HR is largely of VC Rajesh Chandra's making. Wrong and dubious appointments based on nepotism and cronyism is the order of the day, such as Angela Jokhan and so-called marketing and development director, Jai Kumar. Both are unqualified but got the nod due to closeness to the VC.

Yes, amazing how for all their preaching to the rest of Fiji about having a Christian state, the leading lights in SODELPA have such colourful private lives. Ro Teimumu the famous adultress propped up by two other Queens - Jesse Sikivou on one side and Peter Waqanovonovo on the other. The PM talked the other day about ordinary Fijians being able to see through the gulf between some peoples public utterances and the morality of their private lives. I wonder who he was talking about? Qori.

Ratu Tuakitau Cakananuto is an equally decrepit rat. He kept a cowardly silence over the 2006 coup. With the elections looming, the rat has smelled an opportunity and resurfaced. People should not give this useless chief their votes, but a good kick in the arse.

Fiji is the hub of the Pacific.Its presence and location is a Military Stragic Point.During the 2nd World war Japan saw this and tried to conquer Islands close to Fiji then eventually Fiji itself.Then they were going to use FJ as their launching pad to invade NZ and Aust.China and Russia know this also so they are slowly [in the eyes of the Media] but swiftly behind the scenes are moving to set up Naval and Military bases in FJ.Russia will first set up an Embassy.WE FARED BETTER WHEN OUTSIDE THE COMMONWEALTH,WE WONT APPLY TO BE A MEMBER THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY MAKE US AS MEMBER BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE.[THIS IS HIGHLY CLASSIFIED INFO.SO I HAVE REMOVED SOME STUFF TO DECLASSIFY IT A BIT] IT IS NOT ABOUT THE ELECTIONS IT IS ABOUT FIJI'S PARADIGM SHIFT MILITARY WISE.WE DONT NEED THE COMMONWEALH,THE COMMONWEALTH NEEDS US, E.G THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE MEDIA.

MORE THAN 9 TRILLION DOLLARS ARE MISSING FROM THE USA TREASURY OR FEDERAL RESERVE.CONGRESSMAN MR GRAYSON IS CONDUCTING A REVIEW OR INVESTIGATION IN HOW SO MUCH MONEY COULD BE STOLEN WITHOUT A TRACE.IS THAT THE DEMOCRACY WE WANT FOR FJ.I BEG TO DIFFER WE CAN DRAFT OUR OWN VERSION OF DEMOCRACY THAT SUITS US.

Idiot!! Did u not see what's happening to the Maoris will be taking place in Fiji. Our land is being used as security for loans in China, Russia...what democracy you're talking about."Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens participate equally—either directly or indirectly through elected representatives"

America has got its hands around Bai's balls.1)Why do you think Bai was able to fly to America when he was banned from Australia and NZ?2)Who do you think pushed and enabled Bai to speak at the UN?Bai did not get there on his own accord.America put him there.3)How come FBI was able to train our police?4)Why do you think QORVIS is here?Is it for the beautiful smiles of fijians? I dont think so.

ITS ALREADY TOO LATE FOR YOU MY FRIEND.BAI IS WELL AND TRULY IN BED WITH THE AMERICANS.

@ Trues-up man..you've been constsntly listening to rhetorics from daily briefings with your intelectual functions switched off.Just what gives you the notion that the global community will bow down to a dot smaller than a fly's shit in the Pacific Ocean.Rogoca vinaka sara qo..should they wish to take your tin-pot dictator down they can do it without much effort, they plan/they organise /they fund/they equip/they execute,above all else, they will never allow Russia or China to establish military presence in the region. Mona malumalumu, basuka nomu [s]mona ka biuta vata nai yaloyalo levu ni veimaliwai e vuravura raraba.- vuli vaka-vo.

The picture is becoming clearer and clearer...someone is doing the thinking for Bai. As you can see he is so stupid that even the constitution the AG has more power tan the PM. This is a good platform set for SODEPA. As usual a Dictator will always speak boldly of knowing the future like Mussolini,Hitler,Saddam,Bhai etc this is because power corrupts their mind and there comes a stage that he is like God to those that masia his polo.

He is the one doing the run around from place to place to try and convince and influence people to vote him. It will come to a place where he will be desperate for people's approval.

He left his brain n the office so it is clear that he really does not have the brain..because Kahihum is his brain. A normal Prime Minister will spend most of hid time thinking and meditating and visualising policies etc for the state. In Fiji's case it is Khai who is doing the thinking for this useless bugger.

Na no school ga na no school.

Vakamadua...Bai ei ira na masi as well.

DO NOT VOTE FOR A USELESS PERSON LIKE BHAI WHO CAN NOT THINK AND USING OTHER PEOPLE'S BRAIN IN THIS CASE A MUSLIM BRAIN.

We the supporters of SODELPA hereby demand that you reconsider the Leadership of the party. We are the grassroots level supporters. We demand immediate change. If the party does not make the change than we ask of Sitiveni Rabuka to start a new party. You will have our full support and we will wholeheartedly move with your newly formed party. Rabuka is a person with experience and with time has wisdom now. He is the only person who can reverse the coup culture in Fiji. He started it and he is the only one who can end it.

Teimumu the famous adultress propped up by two other Queens - Jesse Sickivou on one side and Peter Waqanovonovo on the other. will only take the country backwards.

We have a Thief,I mean Chief who has following record of which I will spare her personal life:

CORRUPTIONSelf servingLining her pockets at our expenseSuppression of freedom etc"My way or the highway"Lies, lies and more liesETC ETC ETC

The Executives of SODEPLA you reconsider or Sitiveni Rabuka Sir we From Western Fiji are ready for your kind Leadership. God Bless Fiji

That Rabuka of yours started Fiji's coup culture in case you've forgotten.

He was also corrupt, and gave Fiji the NBF scandal and over $200m of bad debt. But you already knew that.

He said he was going to bring a freedom of information law to combat corruption. But he didn't. Why? Because he, his ministers, and his sponsor companies were in the thick of it themselves. The whole lot of them.

Do you remember (or even know) he's first reaction after the 1999 elections was to have the Fiji Intelligence Service burn all their papers, just so that the next Government wouldn't know all the corruption and thieving he was into while PM. But I bet you already knew that.

And he was renowned adulterer too, while he was PM. Never mind Ms Sulueti e wele tiko mai vale. But you already knew that.

Please come up with a better name (and I don't see any better choice than the Marama) for this particular election. Until you do, please keep shut. But you already knew that.

The regime clearly wants to divide the opposition so that Bainimarama can win the election by a plurality. The regime would love for Rabuka to divide SODELPA's support. Timoci is obviously a tool for Bainimarama. "Rabuka started it and is the only one who can end it." What kind of argument is that? We don't need to elect traitors in order to end treason. What we do need to do is to support patriotic people like Ro Teimumu Kepa.

Rabuka is a fast leaner & excellent decision maker?I would bring in this former PM and give him some important responsibility for upgrading Fijian lives? Give him the ministry of Home & Foreign affairs? I think he will thrives in that two positions & with his experience as former PMhe really shouldn't have any problem? We want the coup culture to stop, he's you're man and you can actually take that to the bank? Rabuka is a very creativeperson and you can ask our UN Reptoday-Peter Thomson- of his expert opinion? I would use this man's brain and ability as long ashe lives-The man has done his joband done it well,so he had pulled the first coup? Probably,but hehas very little time left for us to use him and him to show us hisgreatness? So SODELPA, yes give the man his chance to complete his vision of our nation! Take my word for itthe man is ready and no one is better qualified to do these twoministrial jobs then Rabuka!!!VOTE FOR SODELPA & MAY THE BESTPARTY WIN!!!!

Can you believe it,A South-Africanis been considered to be our Police Commissioner?What the frieken hell is wrong with Bhainimarama's brain? He'sfavouvering a former Police Commissioner from the former separatist/apartheid state of South Africa over our Local Acting Commish Ravi Narayan? What a majorlet down to our local police establishement? What the fuck do they have to do to be consideredfor these upper posts? I mean why would you picked a foreiner who atthe end of his term-contract-may return to his country with all his wages-our money? Actually,theRegime have been doing the samethings with the Judicial System,Civil services,Health System,etc.Why are we using our local tax payers funds to pay-out wages, to foreigners who at the end of their contract would move these funds out of our country? No wonder the Bhainimarama Regime has over 110 billion USA dollars Debts with China?And 4 million USA dollars debt with India? What i'm saying isWhy not appoint Ravi Narayan asCommissioner of Police for 3 years and there should be a good local candidate at the end of his term? Listen-up blockhead,themoney you pay to our local willbe used locally and remained-locally?

WELL PM HAS REGISTERED HIS 5000 VOTERS AS PER PRE ELECTION CONDITION AND THIS WILL BE PUBLISHED SOON.BAI WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THE UN MEETS BECAUSE THEY ARE UN SANCTIONED.THE UN HQ IS LOCATED IN USA, THE US WILL HAVE TO ALLOW HIM IN DUE TO UN DIPLOMATIC POLICIES.THEY ARE GUESTS OF THE UN NOT THE US.GOT THE PICTURE KUAniRERE? FIJI is not just a dot in the Pacific Ocean but a very important center and hub and strategically placed dot in the Pacific Ocean.We are the HUB of the Pacific.Take the tin-pot dictator down? ROGOCA SARA QO-THEY CANT TAKE THE CAMEROONS LEADER POL POT DOWN DURING THE VIETNAM WAR,YEA ITS NOW WORLD HISTORY USA LOST TO A RAG TAG ARMY OF VIETCONGS.THE TALIBANS, AL QAEDA ARE STILL ALIVE AND KICKING,NOT DEFEATED! THe FBI trains the Police of ALLIES around the world including FIJI SO AS TO DEVELOP A GLOBAL NETWORK OF INFORMATION SHARING PARTNERSHIP. THIS IS DONE TO IMPROVE AND STRENGTHEN BORDER SECURITY, NOT AS A PERMIT FOR BAI,THE US THANKS BAI FOR ALLOCATING THEM THE LAND FOR THEIR NEW EMBASSY.THATS WHY THEY ARE FRIENDS, THEY WANTED TO GIVE BAI A FLEET OF ATTACK HELICOPTERS LIKE BLACKHAWKS AND APACHEE BUT HE REFUSED TO ACCEPT THEM.You know the usual hoopla and cry it would cause.They have in fact allowed FJ security forces to use their satelites cameras to strengthen our surveillance capabilities and border security THANKS TO PM FOR THAT DEAL,REFUSING THE COPTERS BUT INSTEAD OPTING FOR MAXIMUM USE OF US SATELITE CAMERAS.Who the hell is QORVIS anyway? sounds like a new species of english cabbage to me.VOTE BAINIMARAMA, THE FUTURE IS OURS!

I don't think it's a good idea toput Rabuka back as leader of SODELPA? Rabuka has done his termlet's see what Ro Teimumu can do, and what type of democracy she'dfavour? and of course there is Dr Tupeni Baba,an academic&just assmart, who can be the DeputyPM & Minister of Labour& Industry?Those of you advocating for Rabukaleadership, aint gonna happen,asnative Fijian we know the areas where this brother will flourished-in and that's where we will install him? We want him to attained his dream and his visionfor our nation?I think that we should pool all our support behindRo Teimumu and make sure that sheatains all our needs & expectations, during her term?MAY THE BEST PARTY WIN!!!

Kua Ni Rere, Trues Up is right about the US obligation to allow Bainimarama to travel to the UN.

He's also right about the FBI training. The AFP does it, too, even more.

The claim about the helicopters is pure rubbish. It would be a violation of US law. And why would the US want Fiji to have attack helicopters? How would that serve US interests? And why wouldn't Bainimarama want to accept the copters, if only to irk the Aussies? So, complete balderdash.

Trues Up also doesn't seem to know the difference between Cambodia and Cameroon. Also, I don't think the comparison of the New Fiji to Pol Pot's Cambodia, the Viet Cong, the Taliban and al-Qaeda is particularly flattering. That's not "how the world should be".

I dont want to know the LT of Ro T or Ratu T because these facts are provided by people close to her/him.How the hell would any tomu,dike and are will know the activities of these people,IT IS THOSE CLOSE TO HER,HER SUPPOSED SUPPORTERS, THAT ARE GIVING US THIS INFO.PEOPLE WITHIN THE SODELPA PARTY.We dont wanna hear this crap,because we will VOTE FOR BAINIMARAMA.WE WILL PROTECT OUR LEADERS NOT EXPOSE THEM LIKE THE MEMBERS OF THE OTHER PARTY ARE DOING. Is this the sign of in-fighting within Sodelpa, I have been reliably informed that there is a split within Sodelpa.There are two factions and one faction is bent on ridiculing the Lady by publicising all her LT activities and the other faction to expose the other leaders inconsistencies when he was once a leader.AT ANY BET, WHO DONT WANT TO READ THIS STUFF,BUT YOU GO ON AT YOUR OWN RISK.WE BELIEVE IN A NEW GOVT,NEW PEOPLE,A NEW BROOM THAT SWEEPS BETTER!OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW,REMEMBER THE SLOGAN WELL ITS BEING IMPLEMENTED NOW. 80 % OF THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT PM ARE WAITING FOR THE ELECTIONS,THE OPINION POLLS ARE JUSTIFYING THESE.THE OTHER 20% IS SHARED AS 5% LABOUR,5% PDP AND 10% SODELPA.SO with the few you have been given,use your talents to gain maximum benefit,wether by burying or investing.@ Anon at 8.32 am stop selling your wife for $50.00 she is worth more than that.

$300,000 distributed to landowners by Faiz Khan of tropic woods is money from Islamic country to buy off landowners and to convert Fiji to islamic country. Inside sources close to Fiji Muslim League have confirmed this.

Propagating Islam in Fiji - The African Model:

Islamic propagation is rife in Fiji using African Model and before long Fiji will head towards becoming an Islamic State if Voreqe Bainimarama is elected in this election. When Islam was first introduced in African countries it was very well targeted and funded through middle eastern countries. Islam mostly targets countries run by dictators as is the case in Fiji. They will initially make friends with the dictators and start funding them to run their county without foreign aid and trade. This will help the dictator to survive the sanctions and Islam to get stronghold on the dictators. Millions of dollars are pumped into the economy mostly targeting poor people. These funding is provided by the Muslim world to propagate Islam. The dictator would be provided funding to every project that is for grassroots as these people are easily targeted and easily converted. Same method is being used in Fiji through Khaiyum who is the link to the Arab world. If Bainimarama returns after the elections then you could bet that Fiji will be a defacto muslim state. Please read history of how African countries have been converted to Islamism. It will resonate with what is happening in Fiji. The Fijians have to look at the agenda of Khaiyum and not blindly support Bainimarama for few good things that they are providing. They will soon have mosques than churches in Fiji. A vote for Bainimarama is a vote ofr Khaiyum. A vote for Khaiyum is a vote for Islam. A vote for Islam is a vote for Tabliban and a vote for Taliban is the end of Fijians and Christianity in Fiji

I see the response from all Teimumu Kepa lovers. It is obvious Siti Rabuka needs to start a new political party. This is right time and the best for Fiji to show this thief lovers---I mean chief lovers that we the commoners are not messing around and mean business.

Mr. Rabuka tell us what can we do to gunner support for you and we will do whatever it takes.

Teimumu Kepa and SODLPA have a bed news comming to you. You will be just like NFP. Zero seats for next 20 years!!!!

Yeah, why don't you dick-tater lovers support Rabuka against Bainimarama in a primary election to decide who should be the leader of your Treason Party? Let SODELPA members pick their own candidates. You treasonists can nominate your own. We'll leave it to you to nominate them; you just leave it to us to indict them.

Same Kai Fijian Officers who go home to their families and to Church every Sunday and profess their Christian Faith in God...

Makes me laugh to see you Kai Fijians on this blog talk about Religion and quote from the bible and write like your religion is so riteous.

Jesus Christ hung out with prisoners and prostitutes because these people were the people who needed to be saved, not the self riteous.

Prison Officers brutality is not new. The number of prisoners murdered or brutally bashed and tortured whilst in custody or escaping from prison would be interesting to know.

What I am surprised about is that none of you bloggers are staging a protest against these brutality. None of the NGO's are doing the same.

Tawake may not have been the normal self serving citizen which is required in our society but he is still a human being first, a father and someones son, brother and family member. Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me.

In the end of all this, we have to answer to our creator for our actions. I am confident Tawake would have prayed for forgiveness moments before he accepted his fate and his soul like that of the thief who hung on the cross with Jesus, was forgiven.

Trues up man, do you honestly trust your wife? She's been fucked by so many men that she lost count. Sorry mate but you need to speak to her. As for your rantings and shit, slow down on your cock sucking as that's why your wife fucks around behind your back.

Bainimarama is a lost cause. He is now running around like a headless chicken. We all know the drill. Like him by faking it, and tick something else on the ballot paper. He is not liked in Fiji, so he is seeking approval from his neighbours. His D- DAY is in september. Moce Bai, the time has come to pay for your debts.

Not sure if you guys realise the Constitution in place empowers the military to do as they please. Even if another party goes into power, if the Military Council disagrees with their method of governance, the Constitution allows them to step in and remove this Government. Is there any real point in having an election. No....there isnt. Kai Fijians need to take to the street to show the soldiers that the people of Fiji are not afraid of the soldiers....Rauta mada na rere....

The seizure of punts,fish,boat engine made by the Fiji Navy is commendable.Thats why 80 % of the people of Fiji support the Govt of the day.Vinaka Commodore Fox, well those poaching fisherman couldnt outsly the Fox.After all putting to good use the satelite cameras provided by the US Govt.On the other hand, Coup 4.5 Admin,the helicopters were meant to tease and anger, some idiots cant differentiate between fact and fiction.VOTE BAINIMARAMA.THE FUTURE IS OURS.

SODELPA has lost its way. I appeal to Sitiveni Rabuka. Yalo vinaka, leave the party and form another group that we can all support. Ro Teimumu is tainted, not only by her personal behaviour but because the days of having chiefs as political leaders are over. They should stick to their traditional roles and not be divisive. When a chief forces people to choose between her and someone else, she automatically alienates some of her own people. Please Rabuka. Leave these people and lead us forward in a new party. We don't need more hatred. We need unity between all Fijians and rid ourselves of the chiefs.

@Ratu Tuakitau Cakaunauto should be party leader and prime minister. ...hahaha, best joke I have heard in a long time! It is Ratu Tuki's style to turn up once the cake is baked and ready to eat. In other words, an opportunist of the highest order with the knack for being at the right place and the right time. But we know Ratu Tuki looks after number one only. He will get our kick, not our vote.

The elections will be a farce. They were never intended for anything more than to delay the day of reckoning in the hope that massive borrowing would finance enough infrastructure improvement to buy the votes needed. When it becomes obvious that this stratagem failed, Bainimarama will break his word again and negate the results of the elections but promise something else.

Fijians and the international community all need to stop clinging to promises we know to he false in a forelorn attempt to avoid the confrontation we all know must come.

Isnt Franky a kai Fijian...why not vote for him if your a kai Fijian...why are you kai Fijians against him when he is one of your own...If he was a Kai Fijian Indian or Kai Fijian Loma or Kai Fijian Australian or Kai Fijian New Zealander, I would be worried. Khaiyum....he is not a worry and besides the muslims are a minority group in Fiji. Kai Fijian Hindoos or Bhuddist wont become muslims and neither will or perhaps some of the Kai Fijians. Religion is not a matter to worry about. Isnt it all about your Race for Kai Fijians....C'mon guys, stop kidding yourselfs...what is it really about...

@Trues Up 4:58pmNo I did not watch Close Up but I figured all this out last year.

Like I said before,Things are not always as they seem.

If you know QORVIS you can figure this all out.

All I can say now is America is already in-control of Bainimarama.

And the other secret I can tell you is that Rabuka is also under the influence of QORVIS.

Jesus once said that "The thief not only comes to steal but also to kill and destroy"

If you know a little bit of that verse then you can see where QORVIS and Bainimarama are coming from.

AND LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE, THEY WONT THINK TWICE ABOUT KILLING RO TEIMUMU IF THEY HAVE TO...but if you understand these scheming schnivelling lowlifes, you'll understand that they wont shoot her but will do some tricky stuff like Posoning or a Car accident.

Your hero Bainimarama is a schnivelling lowlife and he has already done this before ( ie assasination)so its not new thing to him.

Why did the Police fail to investigate and charge those responsible for the torture of highly publicised escaped prisoners and recent torture to death of locked up prisoner as Narayan says below:

Fiji Times

Police probe ownShayal DeviMonday, March 17, 2014SOME police officers in Lautoka are under investigation for allegedly assaulting a minor who was taken in as a suspect in a theft case.While ordering a full scale investigation into the alleged assault, the Acting Commissioner of Police Ravi Narayan warned there was no room in the Fiji Police Force for officers who abuse their powers."I will not tolerate any of my officers taking the law into their own hands," said Mr Narayan."I take all complaints against my officers seriously and in the event where there is a criminal breach, they will face the full brunt of the law."In cases where police officers breach the procedures and practices they will be dealt with severely internally through our disciplinary process."Mr Narayan said the uniform a police officer wore did not gave them unlimited powers to do as they pleased and they must work within the confines of the law."I will ensure all police officers uphold the law and a full scale investigation in the alleged abuse has been ordered."Incidents such as this are the reason why I had re-established the Internal Affairs Unit to investigate such matters against our own officers," he said.The police force's Internal Affairs Unit was re-established to deal with complaints against police officers

Heard Pramesh Sharma trying once again to go back to Merchant Finance as CEO 'He was sacked from there by AZIZ and UDAY SEN was made Ceo and together a big scam was invented,Uday now runs his own car company and was recently caught with mileage meter tempering ,while Parmesh Sharma made mega bucks from Western Wreckers and also was given a mansion in NZ by Hanif

Was wondering how long before Ruth Townsend would wake up smelling the rotten environ that is the DPP's office and ergo the minister he reports to. First Stefan Ali's case is withdrawn and now Dan urai's et al is also withdrawn. Wonder when the DPP will wisen up and leave. The longer he stays the deeper the rotting smells will get under his skin until stink will travel with him wherever he goes. Cant do much when youre the AG's poodle eh?! Idiots.

What is the role of transparency international fiji? We havent heard a peep from them over the last 7 years on issues about the lack of transparency with the current iGov. And even with the recent dissolution of the public accounts section they again do not say a word.

Kua Ni Rere, the Americans don't choose Fiji's representatves, Fiji does. The Americans must allow to attend the UN anyone with letters of credence from his government.

Don't confuse American private industry with the US government. Qorvis and other US companies might be doing business here or even supporting Bainimarama, but that doesn't mean the US government is backing him.

Hanif is the owner of western wreckers ,you could get a loan from Merchant Finance where Parmesh was Ceo if and only you buy from western wreckers ,and the value was inflated and Sharma got the CUT as they say in Feejee

Tell Rabaku( ( Rabuka ) to retire to Drekeniwaiwai and plant cassava. Sa Qase na Tamata sa sonalevu sa raga.The Fijians booted his SVT out the door never to exist again. The Fijians have a very long memory.Rabuka is full of shit.

The Fiji Corrections Service has denied claims circulating on social media alleging that assaults by corrections officers led to the death of inmate, Viliame Tawake.In an official statement issued yesterday the corrections service stated that Mr Tawake had suffered from a short illness.“Mr Tawake was in fact taken to the hospital on February 28 after suffering a short illness. He was released from the hospital on Saturday morning (March 1).“(On) Saturday evening; he was escorted back to the hospital and was released on Sunday morning (March 2) after he was treated by the medical authorities.“On Sunday night, his illness recurred and became more severe and while arrangements were still being made for his transportation to the hospital, Mr Tawake passed away.”Meanwhile, Mr Tawake’s family is disputing reports on social media that he had severe injuries.Speaking to the Fiji Sun yesterday, Mr Tawake’s wife, Maria Makarita, said they only saw swelling and blisters on the right side of his face and that he had also bitten his tongue.“Na ka ga au raica rawa ni vuce tu na matana, e katia tu na yamena, e vuce tu na yasa ni gusuna i matau. E vaka tale ga e kama tu qai tu e loma na wai,” Ms Makarita said.She said the family could not determine reports on social media that Mr Tawake suffered severe injuries because they were only allowed to see his body from his neck upwards in order to identify him.“Keitou a sega tale ga ni vakaisulutaka na yagona baleta ni a tukuna na nasi ni sa malumu na yagona. A sa mani olo tu ga ena isulu, na plastic kei na masi,” Ms Makarita said. (We didn’t dress his body at the hospital because the nurse informed us that his body had become soft. It was wrapped in cloth with plastic and a masi (tapa cloth).Ms Makarita said what really upset her was the fact that the corrections service did not contact her to inform her that her husband had been ill and was taken to the hospital twice before his death.“He died on Monday morning (March 3) and when the officers came to convey the news of his death they informed me that he had been ill and was taken to the hospital twice during the weekend. Why didn’t they call me when he had been taken to the hospital?”Ms Makarita said the family was still awaiting the post mortem examination result.Feedback: ana.sovaraki@fijisun.com.fj

As a standard practice immediate family of an inmate is notified when he or she is admitted to hospital. I cannot understand why this was not done in the case of the deceased. Perhaps the FCS can enlighten the family of this,or are they hiding the true cause of his death.

The truth of the death of Mr Tawake will be known by his fellow inmates. The truth will one day be revealed. His family probaby know the truth by now but as Fiji is a Military Dictatorship, are scared to voice their opinion. Who woudnt...The whole of Fiji has been suppressed and subjugated. That is why no one till to date has stood up against the dictator Franky. In the end, we will all face our creator and answer to our actions.

Kua Ni Rere, if Bainimarama doesn't represent Fiji, then get rid of him. Until you do, the United States (and every other country in the world) will have little practical choice but to treat him as Fiji's PM.

Why pick on the United States when it's only fulfilling its obligations as UN host? You seem to have a chip on your shoulders when it comes to the United States. You criticise it in every other posting. Were you turned down for a visa or something?

It isn't up to the United States or anyone else to solve Fiji's problems. That's for Fijians to do. And since Fiji hasn't seen a single street protest since Bainimarama took power, what are foreigners to believe but that Fijians are content to be led by the nose by a no-school thug, as confirmed by the phony Fiji Sun polls?

As long as your protests are confined to blogs and never seen on the street, Bainimarama will be Fiji's representative to the world. Sad, but true.

Widespread police brutality exists in many countries, even those that prosecute it. It is one of several forms of police misconduct, which include: false arrest; intimidation; racial profiling; political repression; surveillance abuse; sexual abuse; and police corruption.It may involve physical force but never reaching death under police custody.

Statistics about police brutality may not always be completely accurate. Over the years many cases go unreported, while many that are reported are disputed. According to sources police officers often adhere to a “code of silence,” refusing to testify against fellow officers. This can skew the accuracy of statistics, because police testimony might solidify many brutality cases.

SODELPA ALL THE WAY. NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY...LET US CONFIRM TO YOU THAT THERE IS NO SPLIT IN SODELPA. ONLY SOME DESPERATE PEOPLE A FEW MINORS LIKE QIONIBARAVI AND SAVENACA KAMIKAMICA WHO WANTED RABUKA TO TAKE LEADERSHIP. WHERE WAS HE ALL THIS WHILE WHILST SODELPA/SDL WAS WORKING HARD TO GET PARTY TO SURVIVE SINCE 2006? HE THINKS HE CAN JUST WALTZ IN NOW AND TAKE OVER? KANA BUTA KANA LOTO. NO HE HAS BEEN TOLD AND SO HAS QIONIBARAVI AND HER LOVER SAVENACA TO STOP AND LEAVE SODELPA. DOU LAI TEKIVUNA DUA NA NOMUDOU PARTY GA. IKE IN SODELPA, WE WILL NOT STAND FOR COUP APOLOGISTS AND COUP MAKERS. MEANWHILE ALL THIS BULLSHIT FROM YOU BAI'S PEOPLE THINKING BY STARTING RUMOURS THAT SODELPA IS SPLIT TO SCARE VOTERS, CALA. YOU ONLY HAVE TO COME BY DAILY TO THE NEW SODELPA OFFICE TO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE NOW COMING IN TO SIGN. HAHAHA LAUGHING ALL THE WAY. VAKARAU GA NA VESU, LESU I NAKEBA, OTI NA JOB VINAKA NOMU KEI WATIMU, OTI NA GADE I VALAGI, RA RAI TALE MAI NA WEKAMU, LESU TALE KINA MACAWA KEI NA NO QUALIFICATIONS DOU A TU GA MAI KINA. SET. RAUTI KEMUDOU YA.

Must be some really big mosquitoes to leave bruises n marks consistent with that of assault. This guy must know something that implicates someone very important. Who is this Tawake and who are his friends n associates. This falla must be involved in something big in prison.
